I came to know about bitcoin from one of my friends but he only told me about bitcoin that he started investing in bitcoin and how bitcoin works.  Then I started dabbling in Bitcoin and learned a lot online. And I on the other hand came to know about this forum from one of my online friends.  And this forum helped me a lot more to gain proper knowledge about Bitcoin. But the funny thing is that now I know more than those who first told me about it and they now come to me for various help and I am very happy to help them.  Although able to gain more knowledge from them, I still respect them as my  first teacher
